Cut
The SlitsNot really my bag. Not sure I’d go out my way to listen again.
Not really my bag. Not sure I’d go out my way to listen again.
I fucking hate Eric Clapton for obvious, non-music related reasons. But now I can add music to it cause this is boring as fuck (title track aside). Over an hour of the same dull guitar riffs and solos in between songs that can hardly be described as “the blues”, fuck this
The godfather of grunge. Great album.
Not my favourite Talking Hesds record, but then they’ve never put out anything less than an 8/10 so that’s not a bad thing. One of the best bands ever, could happily listen to their back catalogue and nothing else for the rest of time.
Listen, I like Neil Young lots, and this is a record I hadn’t heard before and I really liked it, but I’ve been doing this for six days and I’ve had three Neil Young records already. I’m begging for some variety here.
Could only find the title track on Apple Music, but I fuck with it big time. Kind of shit you’d hear in a planetarium or on the Space Odyssey soundtrack Bet dropping a tab and listening to this would go so hard
Funk is the one genre I’ve never really been able to get into, try as I might. There are some very good songs on here (Family Affair especially.) and I can definitely appreciate the lyrics and craftmanship but I’m not sure it’s something I’d rush back to. Separately though, that album cover art is ridiculously good.
Preferred this funk to yesterday’s funk. Decent enough record.
I love Adele man, absolute national treasure and one of the greatest British voices ever. Weirdly I’ve never listened to an album in full, though it’s hard to escape her on the radio, perhaps it gets a bit repetitive but when the voice is that strong it doesn’t really matter to me. Also, Hello is one of the strongest album openers I’ve ever heard.
Not much to say beyond this being Bob Marley’s Magnum Opus. Excellent record!
Can’t stand Bjork. Never got the hype, never will. Terrible record, next.
Meh. Very indifferent, sounds like any other late 80s/esrly 90s R&B record.
NO MORE BJORK PLEASE
Had to go via YouTube and sound quality wasn’t great, but I can dig it.
It doesn’t get Eddie Vedder than this!
I liked it. Would listen again, but also it’s not going to be in my rotations consistently. Perhaps gets a bit same-y quite quickly.
Can’t convince me anyone genuinely enjoys this shite.
Decent enough. Would listen again.
For me, this is the defining Britpop album.
Of all the albums I’ve listened to so far on this 1001 adventure, this has by far has the best opening.
Kinda funny how you can sometimes when you know it’s an artist/group’s final record, you can hear it in the music can’t you? Bridge Over Troubled Water is certainly one of those. Having looked at other reviews I think I’m in the minority who don’t see this as S&G’s best album (Sounds of Silence or Wednesday Morning, 3AM for me.) but still, it’s a fantastic effort, and I’d expect no less given the talents of the duo, and in The Boxer has one of my favourite songs ever within it. One thing I’ve always thought funny was that it must be one of the only records where the title track is one of the weakest songs on the record.
First Beatles album to come up. I can absolutely appreciate the greatness and legacy of The Beatles but I’ve never been the biggest fan personally. Can see why this was/is so highly regarded but it’s also a bit sickly and also very samey. Any Time At All is great though, probably the best on this record.
It’s worth a four solely for Maps.
Baba O’Reilly aside this is proof that you can rehash the same chord progressions over and over and make a record that your lambretta riding uncle will play on repeat to relive his glory days of going to Brighton desperately trying to revive a long since dead scene. Very tedious record.
I just don’t like funk. Nothing against the record, it’s just the genre as a whole ain’t for me.
It just sort of goes on really doesn’t it? Not Joni’s finest work. Some really good instrumentals at times though.
Too many sneering reviews getting high and mighty about this record. Don’t take it seriously, it’s a decent enough pop record with some bangers on it, perhaps a bit longer than it needs to be, but by no means terrible.
Bruce will always get 5 stars from me, he’s my fucking idol. Think this has come at a good time as I recently watched Deliver Me From Nowhere, and hearing the pomp of B.I.T.USA after Nebraska hits differently now. It’s also an excellent social commentary of Regan’s America. Not my favourite Bruce record, but again, he’s never made a bad record to me. Highlights are “I’m on Fire”, “Bobby Jean” and “My Hometown”. BRUUUUUUUUCE!!
I’m relatively late to CCR but my word, what a band. Cosmo’s factory is them at their swamp Rock best. That back to back combo of “Run Through the Jungle” straight into “Up Around the Bend” is perfection. Also, funnily enough this is there the second record I’ve listened to that’s had a “I heard it through the grapevine” cover on it.
Just a bit dull really.
You can tell a lot about someone’s knowledge of punk by how highly they rate this (it’s fucking shite)
Ehh. I very much have to be in the mood for Van Morrison, today was not one of those days.
